So, I'm just curious: Are those really that much better than something like these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Double-Shot-Keycap-104-Set-for-Chery-MX-Keyboard-Key-Caps-Blue-White-/271608725745) or these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Double-Shot-Keycap-104-Set-for-Chery-MX-Keyboard-Key-Caps-Red-White-/281434960552), where you get a whole DS 104 set for less than 2x the price? Maybe this is a special collector thing...?

It's GMK. Yes, it's the best ABS other than that other brand.

GMK ABS Keycaps cannot be compared to other cheap ABS. They are thicker, has better coating, which means more durable to shine and yellowing (if at all), and smooth yet a little bit textured, unlike PBT caps which is a little bit rougher IMO.

Seller has 6 feedbacks - does that bother anyone?
All positive though.

That dark green is enticing, but I'm not sure I'd get away with buying the whole lot just for that one key.

I bought it, so if you want the dark green I can ship it to you. I don't mind.

I'm going to replace a good portion of my function row with these :D

In a padded bubble mailer USPS first class international ~$5 IF you ship through PayPal.
For a keycap I'd use some thin cardboard and packing peanuts as reinforcement the weight should only be ~3oz at most.
I already have labels and packing supplies so I didn't include the cost of those sorts of things.
USPS.com will charge you just over $13 for the same thing.

Yep gmk is the best if you want something that is available now. But nothing can beat OG caps. And yeah only cheap pbt is rough iirc the OG pbt and enjoypbt caps are smooth

FYI this seller has posted more GMK Esc packs (http://www.ebay.com/itm/GMK-double-shot-keycaps-Esc-Pack-for-MX-mechanical-keyboards-/222078998757?hash=item33b4f098e5:g:XEwAAOSwZtJW9lU8). There are currently only 3 left :D

More caps this time, like the White-on-Red I'm hunting for a colleague... too bad I missed it :(

I believe that is beige, (U9) on red, (V1). If you are looking for white on red here are a couple sellers;

Btw seller is legit, got my caps about a week after ordering from Germany to Canada.

Well, would probably work as well, but good catch.
And I know. $15 shipping for a $3 cap is a little to steep for me though =)

Still no Dolch Teal-green. :(

I wonder how they are getting so many weird combinations of colours that haven't appeared in the wild in any observable quantities.
LIke did someone get GMK to make up a bunch of Esc in all colour combinations and are not gradually filtering them out to the world?

My guess is that this is the closest we'll see to GMK grab bags. I.e. the seller buys leftover caps from GMK and sells them in packs he puts together.
